The Arsenal midfielder recently announced through his agent that he had no intention of talking to the new Russian moneybags team FC Anzhi after they made an approach for him, but the Russia captain has always said that he would only rejoin Zenit St Petersburg if he returned to the motherland.

Well today it has been revealed that Zenit are now ready to make an approach to Arsenal as their Portugese playmaker Danny Miguel (who was originally bought to replace Arshavin when he joined the Gunners) has damaged a ligament at their Italian training camp, and is expected to be out for at least the next six months.

This now means that are in dire need of another star midfielder and cannot now wait until the summer to make their offer. The Russian transfer window doesn’t shut for another two weeks and The Mail reports that Zenit now want Arshavin to come in before then

By that time Arsenal will also have Gervinho back from the ACN and, along with Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, will restrict the chances of Arshavin getting much first-team action at the Emirates.

Arsene Wenger has already stated that he doesn’t want Arshavin to leave this month but if the player himself asks to be allowed to return to his old club there will be very little reason for Wenger to say no this time around.

According to reports in the Metro, Nicklas Bendtner may be on his way to Russia, with moneybags Anzhi Makhachkala a possible destination. The Dane is currently on a season long loan at Sunderland from Arsenal and the said daily suggests that he may struggle to earn a permanent deal with the club.

When asked about the striker’s future, manager Martin O’Neill was quoted by the aforementioned daily as saying, “I really don't know. I think he realises it's a big season for him. He's been sent out on loan to us from Arsenal who have decided not to use him this season.”

Although the 24-year old has scored some important goals for the Black Cats this season including one in the Tyne-Wear derby and the winner against Liverpool, Sunderland may prefer to bring in a more consistent performer rather than spending a considerable amount of resources in making Bendtner’s deal permanent.

Arsenal too will be keen to sell in order to make space for new signings and Anzhi could benefit from all of this as they could bag the player for a relatively lesser fee. Under Guus Hiddink, Anzhi are planning to rebuild their squad and a player like Bendtner will definitely give them more options upfront.

Arsenal Striker Closes In On La Liga Move

Emirates Stadium forward set to make permanent Spanish move.

Spoiler for Hiden:

Real Sociedad want to sign permanently Arsenal striker Carlos Vela.The Mexico international has impressed during his loan at San Sebastian and made it clear he doesn’t fancy returning to the Gunners.A Real delegation will travel to London this week to open talks over a fee for Vela.

Carlos Vela has spent much of his six and a half years at Arsenal out on loan and in his current stint at Real Sociedad the Mexican international is beginning to find his feet and it’s therefore not a major surprise that the 23 year old would be pushing to make any temporary move to the La Liga side a permanent one.Arsene Wenger is unlikely to stand in the way of the Cancun born striker’s move to Spain as the former Chivas Guadalajara youth team player is fairly low down the pecking order at the North London club with the likes of Robin Van Persie, Gervinho, Marouane Chamakh and Chu Park-Young all ahead of the talented forward.Vela has made a total of 64 appearances for Arsenal, of which only 19 have been starts, netting 11 goals in the process.
